Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Columbia Thermal 48-Ounce Stainless-Steel Coffee Press
Customer Review: Best cup of coffee!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so pleased with this coffeemaker! It takes no extra time to make the pot of coffee than the drip or percolator coffeemakers - just boil a pot of water (we use an electric kettle) and allow a few minutes to brew before plunging and serving. The coffee is very smooth, with a nice full tast. The insulation keeps the coffee hot for about an hour, and warm for a few hours. No more burned coffee left on the warmer too long, no aftertaste from filters! Customer Review: It's good....but worth it?.....not so sure

This is a very good press, there's no doubt about it. But, does it live up to it's price tag? Not really. This is one of the largest coffee presses I've seen, so I was excited to get it. One of the main reasons I purchased THIS press was the fact that it was a Thermal press. But, when I received the pot, it really didn't impress me....
The Thermal feature really didn't work. Bodum says the coffee will stay hot for up to 2 hours....but after less than an hour, the coffee was barely warm, and once I added cream, the coffee lost all its warmth!
So, it was hard to justify paying $70 for a 'Thermal' coffee press which doesn't really keep the coffee any warmer than a glass pot that costs less than half the price!
So, if you want something that looks nice, and brews good coffee, and money is no object, then go for it....But if you just want a pot that brews quality coffee, I'd recommend going with a less expensive model.
Customer Review: I wish I would have bought this years ago

My husband and I decided to purchase a coffee press after our last two electric coffee makers started leaking water.The coffee press is simple to use and easy to clean. Coffee tastes better when made in this press. I love the design and the look of the Bodum coffee press. One pot is plenty of coffee for the both of us to have two cups each and it stays hot for quite some time. I would recommend this press to people who love a good cup of coffee!Customer Review: Great product!

Since my regular drip coffee maker broke, I decided on an alternative with the Bodum Columbia Thermal. The thermal function really works! I have been able to enjoy hot coffee throughout the morning, without that burnt taste from a regular drip coffee maker. The pour spout is designed with good dynamics and does not promote spillage. I love the way it looks, and I especially love the way it makes delicious, rich, creamy coffee! Just make sure to use dark roasts, as light blends come out too weak.Customer Review: kind of disappointed

I've been using a Melior since the 70s. When Frieling came out with an insulated, stainless version I grabbed it for obvious reasons. First the plunger knob broke off. My husband made new threads and put a different cap on. Then the handle came loose. Another fix. Didn't last. I still use it, but with a swinging handle. So, I next tried this Bodum. My only big issue with it is the sloppy pour. I have the largest version and the filter is so large that it tilts, allowing grinds to come through. And there is no way to tip out the coffee so it doesn't dribble down the pot. Not perfect, but serviceable. I'm not in love with the aesthetics. The large pot is ungainly. Tries to be elegant, but misses.
